The best modern "art" I've ever come across is early videogame soundtracks. Uematsu is unironically the best composer of our time.
Visual art? Barely exists as a medium anymore. It's a vehicle for money laundering and fraud, wrapped up with a pretty little bow of pretentious fart sniffing. The closest thing you can get to a real artist in the modern world is Ansel Adams and he's been dead for half a century. Miss me with that schizophrenic, soup can bullshit.
I can't remember where I saw it, but someone was lambasting the death of progression in the classical music genre, AKA symphonies and stuff like that, before someone else chimed up and said that all major progression or further exploration of that genre in the modern era has been in video game soundtracks. Even modern soundtracks are doing more for symphonic music than anyone else. I think Nier Automata is a decent example of that.
Yep, classical music has been completely absorbed by the Japanese, who carry that particular torch with video games. Dancing Mad from FF6 for example, is Mozart quality and they made it with chiptunes.
I haven't played Nier but I have heard good things.
the Chinese or at least yu peng chen/hoyomix have been doing the same
as much as I hate the idea of the gatcha monetization system and the entire east taiwan thing I have to say genshin impact has some top tier music
